Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The method of DNA replication, where each original strand is used as a template to build a new strand is called the
A
conservative method
B
semiconservative method
C
disruptive method
D
continuous method
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand. This is known as semiconservative replication.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication is semiconservative, meaning that each strand in the DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This process takes us from one starting molecule to two “daughter” molecules, with each newly formed double helix containing one new and one old strand.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the semiconservative model, after one round of replication, every new DNA double helix would be a hybrid that consisted of one strand of old DNA bound to one strand of newly synthesized DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Semi-conservative replication. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand.
